Hi all!
I have a 2 year old Delta kitchen faucet with the faucet that doubles as the sprayer wand. It looks exactly like the Palo 467 SD version but it does not have the integrated supply lines, it may be an older version of the Palo or a Talbott. It does not have the center mounting nut just the 2 side mounting nuts. It has some type of large metal clip that holds the center part on instead of the nut Recently not sure when it happened it started to leak when turned on and nobody noticed. I noticed the leak tonight, it was leaking around the base of the faucet a bit and shooting out under the sink only when turned on. I started to disassemble it and found that the hose that carries the water up to the wand/faucet was lose at the wand connection, a couple turns and it stopped the leak.
I am wandering how could this occur? Delta says no tape or pipe dope at this connection so how can I stop this from occuring again or do I have to keep checking on it every now and then? Is this also a common occurence with these types of faucets?
After I reassembled everything now one of my braided hoses that connects to the sink is leaking just a little bit so i have to fix that in the morning. Any tips on how tight to make this connection with no leaks?
Thanks everyone!
